I don't think you'll ever use the 4.7mm on the 12" f5...
The second list (minus the 4.7mm) is pretty complete.
I wasn't entirely sure about the 4.7mm either. It gives just over 300x, which I know is rare, but I thought it might still be worth it for the few nights of good enough seeing.

The 14mm 100˚ and the 18mm 82˚ have essentially the same field of view, I wouldn't put them in the same set.
You're right, I'm surprised I didn't pick that up before. Yes, those two are definitely too similar for my taste.

If you get the GSO 2X barlow the lens screws off and screwing it onto the eypieces is a 1.5X barlow...just a thought.
Wow, thanks for pointing that little gem out. I didn't know that. I'd only considered the Powermates before because of all the great things I've heard, but that added flexibility of being able to be 1.5x as well sounds very useful.
